Lara Rosales Chicago Med, Previews

After a terrible board meeting that went against the nurses’ best interests, they all start getting sick on Chicago Med Season 10 Episode 20, “The Invisible Hand.” Is it just a coincidence, or does it have something to do with the imminent strike?

Now, the doctors and everyone at the hospital must figure out how to make the best of the situation with the traveling nurses. However, as the nurses continue to get sick, Goodwin must decide whether it’s time to close the doors of the ED or not.

Meanwhile, Archer and Frost add some fun to their day by betting who can discharge their patient first. Who will win?

As those two make the most out of their job, Charles finds himself at a crossroads when he begins to mistrust one of his patients. Is it possible to treat someone you can’t trust?
